Good Article review progress box

- Sorry for the delay in reviewing.
- This article has a lot of issues that I can see on a quick skim.
- The lead is far too short. Working
- It relies far too much on the outdated account by Pocock, sources that old are usually only used for historical facts about taxonomy and for extinct species on Wikipedia.
- Classification has uncited statements. Done
- Doesn't actually provide much information about its systematics or evolution, especially considering that the paper it's cited to has quite a bit of detail.
- Doesn't mention morphological differences between the subspecies, and the distribution already given would be better in a list form.
- No info about breeding, except for one sentence in Description, oddly enough.
- Description is poorly put together and doesn't really have a coherent flow (most articles have size, general appearance, sexual dimorphism, and then age related differences) Mostly fixed
- Very little information on habitat considering what's available in the literature.
- Distribution has too many statistics that should actually be in Conservation. Done
- Half of Behaviour and ecology is just Pocock's account from 80 years ago, which is very outdated and should be replaced by more recent refs. Partly done, but I don't see anything necessarily wrong about using Pocock's account, it's not like these things change quickly.
- Conservation also suffers from flow issues and just seems like a collection of random points with little connection between them.
- Found an image of what I presume is a cub, and this would be better for the infobox imo. Partly done
- Refs should italicise genus and specific names. Done
- Indonesia WCS is not a scholarly source; fine at GA level, but would ideally be replaced by something better like a book or journal article.
- I'll hold this for now, but this requires a lot of elbow grease, so I'd recommend letting this fail and renominating after you've addressed the points raised above. AryKun (talk) 11:54, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

. That makes sense, I guess. My apologies. Edward-Woodrow :) [talk] 12:10, 29 August 2023 (UTC)- All right, I'll fail this; if you want to work on this article and renominate, Mantled howler is a good example of what to aim for. AryKun (talk) 14:48, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
